poorly

Hello my 2 year old female has been off for over a week now, (please note: she has seen 2 vets) and neither are sure what’s wrong with her. She is eating and drinking but has completely changed from a cheeky, very active girl to one who just comes out to eat then goes back to her hidy or just...

She's not a piggy so I've posted here, hope that's right. My house bunny Miley isn't well. She has a long history of dental disease, has had a kidney removed, the works. She's now developed a tooth root abscess which has broken through her jaw ☹️ She's on injectable penicillin as well as gut...

guinea pig wheezing? Hi, I heard my sweet baby boy Porridge making this kind of wheezing sound earlier, he sneezed at the end but keeps doing it on and off. Obviously concerned he has some kind of respiratory thing going on - assuming a vet visit is probably the way to go but wondering if...

Hi all, I have a Guinea pig, who lives alone (don’t come for me. He used to have a partner who died last year and have tried to bond numerous times with the help of Guinea pig sanctuaries etc but no luck). He’s 6 next month and has been a fairly healthy pig. He has been loosing weight so he has...

Good evening, I'm hoping that someone can give us some advice.. after months of our piggies being ill and many vet appointments, they were finally been diagnosed with Bordetella. They are now on their 3rd and final antibiotics they apparently can have and it isn't helping. (roughly around 6 weeks...

Hi everyone. I took Poppy to the vets on Monday. When I took her the time before she weighed just over 1.3. She now weighs 1.02. She has lost quite a lot of weight. The blood is apparently coming out in her urine, not in her poop so apparently this is still cystitis and they think she is just...

Hello everyone! Worried piggie mummy here! When I got home from work I checked on the pigs as usual, partner had checked on them before he left for work a few hours before I got home and gave them their second lot of greens. When I checked on them Archie was sat in a corner and when I went to...

Hi all, Streaky has been getting crusty eyes lately, I’ve been told by the nurse to bathe cotton balls in warm water and clean his eyes in that way (this was a couple weeks back when he had his nails trimmed), I’ve been told to clean his eyes everyday as they can get dirty however, the past...

hi there! My Maisie has been refusing to eat and drink since last night and haslost far too much weight (she has a chubby belly but can feel ribs etc) and is over all very lethargic! She has made it through the night but vet is stumped and has told me to syringe mushed up pellets and water and...

I'm really really hoping someone can help us. We have three Guinea pigs. One female and two male. The female is the mother of the two boys (she was pregnant when we got her). Our female is just under two. The males are 15 months old. About seven weeks ago they were all healthy. We then noticed...

Hi everyone, Hope you are all well. I have just signed up to this forum so I can speak with other piggy lovers and share experiences and get advice. My wife and I have kept two lovely Guinea Pigs, Cairo and Caesar, since we moved in together nearly 8 years ago. They have always lived in the...

Recently my guinea pig has been drinking a lot of water, she is over 6/7 years old I cannot remember exactly, I know that may sound bad but she is a baby of one of my old Guinea pigs☺️ and I was quite young when she was born so I didn't think to remember the date! I'm not sure if she has always...

I really hope you can advise me. My baby boy Ted had a bladder operation on Friday - they thought it was bladder stones but it was actually a blood clot. He ate a little of his straw yesterday but I was syringe feeding him all day. Today there is no improvement. He didn't move all night. There...

Am new on here. Please help me. We have 5 guinea pigs and one of the eldest [4 1/2 yo] had stopped eating his veg and looked hunched and squinty eyes so we took to vet on Sat. He checked mouth [ok] and did bloods [all ok] and examined [all ok], but xray showed 2 kidney stones. I did see xray but...
